It's true that the "think about the poor owners" part is, in a vacuum, a pretty fucking stupid argument. Nature doesn't give a shit about home valuations. Water levels are on the rise, if you do live in a flood risk zone, it sucks, but you just do.
It's however pretty fucking bullshit that people who were flooded were allowed to rebuild in place to be told 4 years later that the home they literally just had rebuilt will now be hard to insure and near impossible to sell.
